Jane Lynch (Host), The Weakest Link – Outstanding Host for a Game Show
“Turns out I’m not the Weakest Link! Honored to be nominated for Outstanding Host for A Game Show. I’m so grateful for my Weakest Link family and truly couldn’t be more appreciative for the Academy’s recognition.”
Mark Duplass (Supporting Actor), The Morning Show – Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
I’ve been so fortunate to work alongside leads Jen and Reese, who have blazed such a powerful trail for actors on this show. It’s a gift to get to be a part of such a talented ensemble and waking up today to see not only 16 nominations, but 7 of them from the supporting cast alone was truly heartwarming. What an honor to share this category with my fellow cast members Jon Hamm and Billy Crudup. In particular, seeing the acknowledgement for gifted and hardworking actors like Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, and the legendary Holland Taylor is the most thrilling part of all of this. I want to thank all of our writers, directors, producers and of course Apple for making all of this possible.
Robert Downey Jr. (Supporting Actor), The Sympathizer – Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie

Julien Fellowes (Executive Producer), The Gilded Age – Outstanding Drama Series
“It is always an honour to be noticed by the Television Academy, and it is especially rewarding when a new show is selected. Six Emmy nominations for The Gilded Age is more than I could have dreamed of, and I am absolutely thrilled. They have provided a public recognition of the wonderful work of our cast and crew, all of them stars in my eyes, and I am so grateful for that.”
Christopher Townsend (Visual Effects Supervisor), Loki – Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or Movie

“I am so honored for this nomination and am beyond happy to share it with Kristina, Kizzie, Garnet and Amanda! Echo was an amazing once in a lifetime experience that can never be duplicated. I’m so grateful for Director Sydney Freeland’s trust in me and my talented crew, and Marvel producers belief in our capabilities to help bring this historical world to life. My experience and interactions with all of the Choctaw and Indigenous representatives from across the country will forever be a most special and unforgettable experience of my career. My children, husband and friends are so excited to celebrate this huge recognition with me and I can’t wait to see everyone in LA! I am incredibly honored to be nominated for best Costume Design for the Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi series Echo. Congratulations to all the nominee’s in all the categories! What a wonderful summer surprise!”
Kali Reis (Supporting Actress), True Detective: Night Country – Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“Fuck yeah! I’m at a loss for words. Thank you to HBO for believing in this project and giving me the opportunity to be part of this amazing team. It has been the ultimate honor to work alongside the visionary Issa López and legendary Jodie Foster. Being only my third acting role, I never would have thought I’d have the opportunity to kick down doors alongside such talented humans like Lily Gladstone and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. As a proud Wampanoag-Cape Verdean two spirit woman of color, I am excited to see the progression of representation in this industry as we continue to tell our stories. Congratulations to all of the other nominees. Thank you to the Television Academy and I can’t wait to see you all soon!”

Matthew Broderick (Guest Actor), Only Murders in the Building – Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series

It’s very nice to get home from work with your face hurting from laughing. Thank you to everyone at Only Murders In The Building and especially to John Hoffman and my old dear friend Martin Short, you made me feel so welcome. Thanks to the Television Academy for this. I’m deeply honored and over the moon happy.”

Walter Goggins (Lead Actor), Fallout – Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
“I’m so humbled and grateful to be included in this room of storytellers, in this category with these remarkable actors, in this stellar year of television. To be a part of “Fallout,” to play these two roles written by Geneva and Graham and to get to work with one of my heroes, Jonathan Nolan, means so much to me. You know who the most grateful man in the world is? ….ME!!! I can’t wait for September 15th!!!”

Lamorne Morris (Supporting Actor), Fargo – Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie
“Thank you to the Television Academy for finally recognizing all my hard work on New Girl! Although I believe it’s a lock, I do see I’m nominated alongside Robert Downey Jr. who stole my role in Tropic Thunder. My fellow nominees and I won’t let this slide.
This is a great honor, and I couldn’t be more excited! Truly blessed to work with such a talented cast and crew! Special thank you Noah for the opportunity and trusting me to bring Witt Farr to life! Go Fargo!”
Alex Edelman (Comedian), Alex Edelman: Just For Us – Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special
“Wow.
Everyone in this category – including the Oscars – performed at the Cake Shop open mic on the Lower East Side in November of 2013, so I cannot believe that eleven years later we all get to be nominated together. I’ll never forget Jacq’s great french fry stuff and the Oscars’ really interesting material about George W. Bush. I’m so honored to be amongst them.
I owe thanks to the countless people who guided me through this process like a millipede through a minefield: my crew on Broadway, the producers of the show – which include fellow nominee and my unpaid therapist Mike Birbiglia – Alex Timbers, who directed a special I am so proud of and made every single moment of this process a joy, the brilliant editor Kelly Lyons, even though she cut out all of my scenes with The Rock (sad!). To HBO and MAX? I could not appreciate all the faith and support you put behind this more. And thanks for The Larry Sanders Show. It rules.
I also want to acknowledge my closest friend and longtime collaborator Adam Brace, who passed a few weeks before our show started on Broadway. He’d be thrilled and probably a little bit cider-drinking about this. I miss him every day and thought of him all morning.
Finally, I want to thank the audiences who came to see my show and who watched it on HBO. Whether you sat in a cramped room in a Greek Cultural Center in Australia, a room behind a pub in London, the Hudson Theater on Broadway or your living room couch in Boston, this wouldn’t have happened without you coming to watch and telling other people. It’s been a six year journey. And what a nice denouement. Can you believe it?”
Marc Shaiman (Composer), Only Murders in the Building & Albert Brooks: Defending My Life – Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics * Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special
“It’s a thrilling morning, to not only be nominated for “Only Murders in the Building” but also for my score for DEFENDING MY LIFE, the exquisite Rob Reiner directed documentary on Albert Brooks. My 35 year relationship with Rob has brought me an endless amount of joy, and to work again with Albert after our collaboration on his film MOTHER made this even more special. To work with legends like Steve Martin, Rob Reiner and Albert Brooks and then be doubly nominated makes it very hard for me to not be very happy today. But don’t worry, I’ll find something to complain about!”
Kristin Wiig (Lead Actress), Palm Royale – Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series
“What the… Still in shock over here! I’m so happy for everyone that worked so hard on Palm Royale and SNL! And for all my fellow nominees!! Everyone at Apple, Lorne Michaels and the casts, writers, and crews!!! I can’t believe this.”
Matt Bomer (Lead Actor), Fellow Travellers – Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“It was such a nice surprise when I heard this morning. I didn’t know today was the day of the nominations. I was making coffee when Simon came in to tell me. I am incredibly grateful and thrilled that Jonny and Ron’s beautiful work was recognized as well. The fact that two out actors in a love story were recognized in this way is profoundly moving to me.”
Nava Mau (Supporting Actress), Baby Reindeer – Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“I am at a complete loss for words. This morning is such an emotional rollercoaster filled with tears of joy over this recognition of my work, and for my humanity as a trans Latina woman. Today is an affirmation of my existence and my journey as a working actor. It is a dream come true and I am so humbled and deeply grateful for this nomination. Most importantly, I am thankful to my peers for not only bestowing me with this nomination, but celebrating this groundbreaking moment for the Trans community at large.
I extend my endless gratitude and congratulations to Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning, and my entire Baby Reindeer family. This has been the ride of a lifetime, and I am so deeply moved to be sharing this with all of you.
Mil gracias y mucho amor a mi familia en México y San Antonio!”
Jodi Foster (Lead Actress), True Detective: Night Country – Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“This just feels like a love letter from above. It’s my very first Emmy nomination as an actor and it’s especially thrilling to share this joy with our Night Country team. We couldn’t love and trust one another more, after holding on for dear life through the snow, finding our way in the dark. Being part of the True Detective family with Issa López as our fearless leader is the gift that keeps on giving.”
Carrie Coon (Lead Actress), The Gilded Age – Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Today is especially gratifying because The Gilded Age returned to production last week for a season three that exists only because so many people watch and love the show, and I want to thank our champions at HBO for giving us another round. Congratulations to our queen, Christine and the entire cast; to Sean Flannigan and our hair department; Kasia Walicka-Maimone and her team in Costumes; Bob Shaw, our production designer and previous champ; and especially our astonishing New York crew, almost all of whom have returned to us after 18 months dark. Bertha is created by the one and only Julian Fellowes and the indispensable Sonja Warfield, but she wouldn’t exist without Nicki Ledermann (make-up), Christine Harlan (hair) and Amber Augone (dresser). And of course, I thank the incomparable Morgan Spector, my dearest, most painfully handsome friend, true feminist, joyful scene partner, and the love of my fake TV life.
It’s also a special day because my parents and one of my brothers and his family are visiting, and they did not have His & Hers Emmy nominations on their Westchester vacation bingo cards. Tracy and I will celebrate with a bland dinner palatable to small children and an early bedtime.
Kaitlin Olson (Guest Actress), Hacks – Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series
“Whoa! What an honor to be a part of this incredibly special show…thank you to the Television Academy for the nomination for DJ! I’m so excited for my whole Hacks family for their incredible seventeen nominations! Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder…thank you for making every scene a dream. And as always, I’m forever grateful to Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky for creating this beautiful character for me to play. BRB, choosing my D’Jewelry for Emmy night.”
Aja Naomi King (Supporting Actress), Lessons in Chemistry – Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“I am so deeply honored to be nominated for an Emmy. It is difficult to put language to the abundance of emotion I feel right now but foremost in my mind is my deep gratitude. Gratitude to the Television Academy, the incredible Lessons in Chemistry cast and crew that I had the privilege to work alongside, and to every person who ever told me to keep going. Thank you.”
Karen Pittman (Supporting Actress), The Morning Show – Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series
“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by this moment. I’m proud to be nominated alongside so many on the show, fellow actors, directors and artists. And I’m so proud of our show’s nomination, as well.”
John Hoffman (Co-Creator and Showrunner), Only Murders in the Building – Outstanding Comedy Series
“In order to pull this season off, it meant everyone — from the greatest actress ever to the greatest propmaster swaddling each one of our Pickwick Triplets — bringing the most of their love, talent and ensemble spirit. I watched it up close in amazement and today I’m out of my mind thrilled and grateful the Academy has seen them too, and honored so many of our cast and team of artists and collaborators in NY and LA that made our magical third season sing so unforgettably.”
Nikki Glaser, Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die – Outstanding Variety Special
“Thank you Television Academy for the recognition. I’m so honored to be nominated among some of the greats for an Emmy for Someday You’ll Die, especially since most of the material in this special is based on thoughts and feelings I once thought I would have to take to the grave. I’m so grateful for the support of HBO and my entire producing team who made my jokes feel more important than they ever have. Standup is usually such a solitary pursuit and for the first time with a comedy special in my career, I felt that this was a team effort. I have the coolest job and it keeps getting cooler.”
Sofia Vergara (Lead Actress), Griselda – Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
“Wow. Griselda was my first dramatic role ever, and it took us 15 years to bring her to life. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who was a part of this series. I could have never done this without my director Andres Baiz, my costar Alberto Guerra, Eric Newman and the full creative team, my partner and producer Luis Balaguer, Ted Sarandos, Bela Bajaria, and their team at Netflix, and all the amazing cast and crew. I never dreamed that after “Modern Family” I would be able to work on something as special as “Griselda.” I’m honored to be recognized alongside Jodie, Brie, Juno, and Naomi, incredible women who gave us incredible TV this year. Thank you to the Television Academy for this incredible honor!”
Tadanobu Asano (Supporting Actor), Shōgun – Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
“I am deeply honored to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for my role as Kashigi Yabushige in “Shōgun.” I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to FX, creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, Hiroyuki Sanada, and the entire team for their unwavering support and vision. I am incredibly appreciative of the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in bringing this project to life. This recognition is a testament to our collective effort, and I am truly grateful.”
Lily Gladstone (Supporting Actress), Under the Bridge – Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series or Movie
“I am so touched by this nomination. I wholeheartedly share the honor with the stellar cast of Under the Bridge, who brought such deep compassion and unmatched talent to telling Reena Virk’s story. Every beating heart on screen gave so much of themselves to honor her legacy, and I’d especially like to thank Vritika, Archie and Riley, I am so inspired by you all. Thank you to Quinn Shephard, Samir Mehta, Liz Tigelaar, Stacey Silverman, Gina Gammell and Riley Keough for bringing this story to light and being champions of radical empathy. I’m forever grateful to have been brought along for the journey.”
Michael Costigan (Producer), Lessons in Chemistry – Best Limited or Anthology Series, and nine more nominations
“What makes this so thrilling for absolutely all of us is everybody really became family. Jason [Bateman] and I are so proud of these nominations because they are a testament to the old-fashioned way of original material. Lessons in Chemistry is an original first novel by an author who blew us away with her story. Everyone at Apple was so inspired by Elizabeth Zott, and Brie Larson guided us through a show that spans so much time and has so many big ideas. Elizabeth isn’t afraid to say what she thinks, and she’s a brilliant character who finds love and relationships at the same time. We’re so proud of everyone who worked on the show and all the departments that worked tirelessly, and we’re grateful for everything they put into the series. It’s time for them to celebrate and we’re happy to host a party to show our gratitude, that’s for sure.”
Hannah Einbinder (Supporting Actress), Hacks – Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
“Making Hacks with my loved ones is the most fulfilling creative experience of my life.

Brad Winderbaum (Executive Producer), X-Men ’97 – Best Animated Program
“I think I speak for the entire Marvel Animation and X-Men ’97 team when I say we are honored to be nominated for Outstanding Animated Program. Everyone involved with this series is a fan of the original X-Men: The Animated Series and working alongside the creative talent from that show to bring these iconic characters to a new audience was a dream come true.”
Carlos Rosario (Costume Designer), Shōgun – Outstanding Period Costumes for a Series
“Thank you to the Television Academy for this great honor.. I’m thrilled to be included in a category among such inspiring Costume Designers. This is my first nomination and I couldn’t think of a better project than “Shogun” to be nominated for. I share this with my crew, the hundreds of incredible artists in Vancouver and around the world who have supported me in creating thousands of costumes. The rich storytelling set in the Sengoku period, the uniqueness of the Japanese aesthetic and the complexity of all the characters have allowed me to design costumes I never thought possible. I’m so grateful to Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Greg Berlanti (Producer) and Sarah Schechter (Producer), Red, White and Royal Blue – Outstanding Television Movie: Producers
“We are so honored. We share this with Jen, Courtenay, Julie, Sue, Brianna and all the wonderful people at Amazon who have been so supportive. Casey McQuiston wrote a joyful, wonderful book that captured the imagination of readers everywhere. We were honored to be trusted to turn it into a film and are so grateful to Matthew Lopez and our cast and crew, especially Nick Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, for this wonderful ride. Bringing hope and love into the world always feels worthwhile and we are most grateful to the fans for loving this film.”
